So far this is what it consists of:

$10 InWIN V500 case

$14 500w PSU

$57 B75 Motherboard

$27 4GB stick of RAM

$65 Pentium G2020

$99 HD 7750 2GB

You're missing storage and a dvd drive(which most people just flat out don't use these days)

 

Hard drive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822149380(cheapest I could find)

I bet it's really old, like SATA 1 only. If you're still using XP which I don't recommend just ditch the DVD drive

I would ditch it but I kinda put music on my families devices and they use it through CD. I am just going to add a DVD drive in there.

What about an AMD APU build? Here's one that's under $300 without a case (tweaked version of TekSyndicate/Logan's $400 build): http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TK8d

Apparently they're actually really good chips and you could even throw in a 6670 and it'll run crossfire with the integrated 7660D which people have said gives a pretty significant boost.

Yeah, but if I choose AMD I want to be able to upgrade to a 8 core processor, which will most likely be in AM4.
